The 4th Screen - Global Fest of Art & Innovation for Mobile Phones

The 4th Screen 'a global fest of art and innovation for mobile phones' will focus on the mobile phone as an emerging social, cultural and technological phenomenon.

Artists, designers, technologists, and all creative thinkers are invited to submit their creations, inventions and revolutionary ideas in one of two categories:
1/ Moving images - including videos, animations, and games made specifically for mobile delivery
2/ Wise technologies - including SMS based projects, sound, software art, software and hardware projects proposing new or extended use of mobile devices, applications that impact the life, the cultural, social and economical conditions of people living in diverse cultures.

The image-enabled cell phone is at the center of a radical cultural, technological, and social shift. With over two billion phones currently in use and hundreds of millions added annually, the mobile phone is not only becoming pervasive, but the shooting and sharing of still and moving images and the exchanging of text messages is similarly omnipresent. Once, a relatively simple communications device, the cell phone is now an all-in-one personal media device, enabling unprecedented access to the production, distribution and reception of information, entertainment and art.
The mobile phone is bridging the digital divide.
